Junior Code Review: Laravel Routes, Middleware, Validation and more

As a part of my new Laravel mentorship program in my home country Lithuania, I started doing code reviews of my student developers. Here's a 20-minute example that I decided to publish on Youtube - should be useful to you guys, too.

04:08 Shorter Middleware Class
07:01 Middleware with Parameters
09:06 Migrations with Foreign Keys

"Juniors don't be afraid to show your code. Seniors don't attack the juniors that the code is bad. We all start somewhere."

The delete action using "GET" instead of "DELETE" might expose the user to CSRF attacks. That one should be changed for security. (I hope this observation can be useful for someone).

I liked the video format. And today I noticed that I'm not a junior anymore.

[ShekenZZZ]

Yes ! Please ! More code reviews videos ! As a junior I can't state how valuable this is. Thanks for everything !

Omfg. This is like those "very satisfactory" videos with people slicing colored clay, but with coding.

Such a rewarding feeling to watch.

Im experienced web developer, but a c# one. Have no idea why this video appears in my recommendation, but it's ASWESOME.
For me It was a good overview of PHP/Laravel development). Without any experience I understood 100% of it! Thanks.

"as junior dont be afraid to make mistake (but take responsibilty on that)"
"as senior dont attack your junior (we have to start somewhere right)"
huge respect to you!!

This means a lot of helpful to jr. developers to learn.
I have seen many videos. many of video creators Assumes that you were aware about the mistakes that users do. but actually the fresher or junior developer wasn't aware of that. *And this is really fantastic video to identify mistakes and correct them*.

The command in PHPStorm to highlight the next occurrence of a word is Ctrl+G on Mac and Alt-J on windows. On vscode it’s ctrl+D. Rather than moving the mouse and highlighting line by line
Great content!

Hello sir
You are the most humble and kind person in the region. You always appreciate others for working hard instead of dominating them for mistakes, and helping them grow each time. I think your contribution to this growth of laravel is remarkable.

Help is only help, whatever form it may be given, and I am grateful for your efforts and love.

Great video. As for multi-line edit. Just double tap ctrl, and use arrow down to select all lines. Hit "End" to get the cursor to the same location on each line. Now remove the middleware in one go.

[camilorojas]
